Q. How much of what I donate actually goes toward a van?

A. Make Me Mobile has very low overheads. We estimate that about 97% of the money that you donate will go towards purchasing vans for clients in need. The other 3% goes towards administration and other fund raising ideas. No one at Make Me Mobile takes a wage. We are all volunteers.

Q. What is to stop the client form selling the van?

A. Nothing... but the client can only get the NDIS to modify a vehicle every 10 years.

Contractually:

* Make Me Mobile also has the right of first offer to buy back the vehicle, so we will know when its being sold

* the vehicle will belong to the client and not the Parents/Guardian/Carer.

A. No. This needs to be budgeted buy the client/parents/guardians/carers from the clients income or pension. We are looking into this.

Q. When should I apply for Make Me Mobile funding?

A. You should send Make Me Mobile an email to let us know you are applying for NDIS funding for vehicle Modification.

You should also download our Privacy Policy and Terms of Funding to familiarise yourself with our policies. These can be found in Supporting Documents on this website. Make Me Mobile will then wait for your NDIS funding approval.

A. It can vary. Currently it generally takes 3 months for the modification. Currently it is taking 10 months to get a KIA into the country.

Q. Who will be doing the modification?

A. Freedom Motors is our preferred supplier but if they can't keep up with the demand we will be seeking assistance from other modifiers.

Q. What will it cost me?

A. If approved the NDIS will pay for the modification and if approved and we have the funding Make Me Mobile pay for the van . Anything outside these two parameters we cannot comment on.
